The major initiatives taken by the
Coffee Board
of India to push the exports include online issuance with digital signature of registration-cum-membership certificate (RCMC), export permit, certificate of origin, regular interaction with the exporters to discuss bottlenecks and addressing those issues, and providing regular global market information and market intelligence.
The other export promotion steps included transit/freight assistance to maximise export earnings by enhancing the market share of value-added coffee.

The government provides Rs 3 per kg for export of value-added products; Rs 2 for shipments of high value green coffees to far-off high value markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Finland, Norway, and Denmark.
To support the business community for value addition, the board supports individuals, self-help groups, and growers. It provides 40 per cent cost of machinery with a ceiling of Rs 15 lakh for installation of roasting, grinding and packaging machinery.
"These measures are helping us to reach newer markets,"
Vidi's Coffee
Founder Divya Shree G S said.
Further, according to Coffee Board CEO and Secretary M Kurma Rao, in India coffee is cultivated under a diverse canopy of native and mixed shade trees and this system supports biodiversity, ensures soil and water conservation, enhances carbon sequestration and sustains livelihoods for small and marginal farmers by offering opportunities for crop diversification.
Veteran Coffee grower from Coorg Bose Mandana said India is one of the few countries which is promoting shade grown coffee.
"This helps in protecting forests. It is a sustainable way to grow coffee and it will help India deal with EU's deforestation regulation," Mandana said.
Talking about the measures taken by the Board to help entrepreneurs, South India Coffee Company (SICC) founder husband and wife duo Akshay Dashrath and Komal Sable said that they are partnering with Indian coffee producers and roasters to put Indian coffee on the world map.
"Huge potential is there to increase exports of specialty coffee from India," Komal said.
SICC operates in the US, the UK, and India, with end-to-end logistics and warehousing capabilities for the sector.
The main coffee producing states are Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. India is the seventh largest producer of the world with 3.5 per cent share and fifth largest exporter with 5 per cent share. India produces about 3.6 lakh tonnes of coffee per year.
About two million people are employed in the sector directly and indirectly.

Nifty faces key resistance at 25,200 amid geopolitical tensions

Following Friday's rally, Nifty now faces a crucial test near 25,200. Analysts say a sustained move above this level could pave the way for a further rise toward 25,700–25,900, but also caution that geopolitical uncertainties may continue to inject volatility into the markets. On the downside, support at 24,500 remains crucial with stock-specific action in banks, midcaps, and select names like M&M, BEL, and CAMS offering trading opportunities. RUCHIT JAIN VICE PRESIDENT, MOTILAL OSWAL FINANCIAL SERVICES Where is Nifty headed this week? Geopolitical tensions have led to a consolidation phase in Indian markets over the past month. However, this appears to be a time-wise corrective phase within an uptrend, with Nifty holding above its support zone of 24,500– 24,450—a crucial near-term level. The immediate hurdle for the index lies in the 25,200–25,250 range. A breakout above this could propel the index towards 25,500–25,700. On the downside, 24,800 is the immediate support, followed by positional support at 24,450. Trading strategies for the week: Traders are advised to focus on stocks that have shown relative strength over the past month. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has given a breakout, signalling a bullish trend. Exchange-related stocks such as MCX, and defence names like BEL, BEML, and BDL are expected to extend their uptrend in the short term. Agencies Live Events PRITESH MEHTA EVP – INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES, YES SECURITIES Where is Nifty headed this week? Despite elevated global uncertainty, inter-market signals suggest relative strength for Indian equities. Friday's 300-point rally was a welcome shift, as the market had been struggling to find a trending move. More importantly, the index managed to sustain its gains without cooling off. Our customised Top 10 Nifty index gained momentum after weeks of consolidation, indicating strength in large caps. Our breadth indicator also showed a bullish crossover, with ~58% of index constituents displaying a bullish bias. An ABC breakout, along with a double-top buy signal on the Point & Figure chart, combined with improving breadth, suggests a potential move towards the 25,700 zone. Trading strategies for the week: Improved breadth, renewed traction in banks and financials, and support in the Midcap 100 index around its 10-column average all point to further upside. Among sectors, our customised Capital Markets and Defence indices are bouncing from support. BEL, CAMS, and CDSL are showing multiple bullish patterns and could rally 10–14% in the coming weeks. The ratio of IT to Nifty has followed through on a bullish turtle breakout, indicating a potential comeback for select IT stocks. ARPAN SHAH HEAD – TECHNICAL RESEARCH, MONARCH NETWORTH CAPITAL Where is Nifty headed this week? Nifty has been consolidating within the 24,500–25,200 range for past six weeks, lacking a clear directional trend. Despite absorbing geopolitical shocks, including the India-Pakistan conflict, the market has managed to hold key support levels. Friday's session ended with a strong bullish candlestick formation, indicating that a breakout above 25,200 could trigger short-covering and open upside targets of 25,600–25,900. The banking index, which has been consolidating near its all-time high, is expected to move in line with the benchmark, with upside targets of 57,200–58,000. Trading strategies for the week: The midcap index has formed a strong reversal at its breakout level. Traders can consider buying for upside targets of 13,400–13,600. The IT index has been gradually inching up, and offers a favourable risk-reward setup. Investors may accumulate HCL Tech, Kaynes, and R Systems at current levels. PSU bank stocks, including SBI and Bank of Baroda, have seen profit booking post the RBI rate cut and are now near support, both can be added at current prices. Defence stocks, having rallied sharply in the last 3–4 months, now present an unfavourable risk-reward and are best avoided. Among mid- and small-caps, CGCL, Praj Industries, GPIL, and Bharat Rasayan are good accumulation bets at current levels.

Top three stocks to buy today, 23 June, as recommended by Ankush Bajaj

On Friday, 20 June, the Indian stock market opened with a sharp gap-down, driven by global nervousness and initial profit-booking. However, as the session progressed, investor sentiment improved, and the market steadily moved upward throughout the day. The recovery was broad-based, reflecting strong buying interest and resilience across key sectors. Top 3 stocks for today, recommended by Ankush Bajaj Why it's recommended:Indus Towers has broken out of a falling wedge pattern on the daily chart — a bullish reversal structure that indicates potential for trend reversal. Additionally, on the 45-minute chart, the stock has confirmed a triangle breakout, adding to the bullish conviction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is at 62.90, suggesting strengthening momentum. Key metrics: Resistance level: ₹419 (short-term target) Support level: ₹397 (pattern invalidation level) Pattern: Falling wedge breakout on the daily chart; triangle breakout on the 45-min chart. RSI: 62.90 on daily chart, indicating bullish strength Technical analysis:The confluence of breakouts on both daily and intraday timeframes strengthens the bullish view. The RSI in the 60+ zone reflects solid momentum, and the breakout structure is clean. A move above ₹419 could open up further upside in the short term, provided the breakout sustains with volume confirmation. Risk factors:Failure to hold above ₹397 would invalidate the bullish pattern and may lead to selling pressure. A lack of volume follow-through may weaken the breakout signal. Buy at: ₹404.30 Target price: ₹419 Stop loss: ₹397 Also read: Fed's forecast 'Fog' adds more clouds to stock market outlook Why it's recommended:BEL has closed at a new all-time high, indicating strong bullish sentiment. The RSI is above 72 on the daily chart, showing strong momentum and suggesting the trend may continue. On the 15-minute chart, a rectangle breakout has been confirmed, supporting a continuation of the uptrend in the near term. Key metrics: Resistance level: ₹426– ₹430 (short-term target range) Support level: ₹396 (pattern invalidation level) Pattern: Rectangle breakout on the 15-min chart; breakout to new life-time high on daily chart RSI: Above 72 on daily chart, suggesting overbought strength and trend continuation Technical analysis: BEL is showing strong price action with volume support at higher levels. The breakout above its previous high, combined with short-term consolidation breakout, makes it a high-conviction trade. While the RSI is in the overbought zone, this can persist during strong trends. Risk factors: High RSI may lead to brief consolidations or minor pullbacks. A drop below ₹396 would negate the current bullish structure. Buy at: ₹408.25 Target price: ₹426– ₹430 Stop loss: ₹396 Why it's recommended: Aeroflex has delivered two consecutive strong green sessions accompanied by high volume, indicating strong buying interest. The stock is showing positive relative strength and is currently in a healthy pullback mode, which offers a good entry point in the broader uptrend. Key metrics: Resistance level: ₹235– ₹240 (short-term target range) Support level: ₹189 (pattern invalidation level) Pattern: High-volume continuation with positive relative strength and pullback support RSI: Not overbought; momentum building with volume support Technical analysis:The stock is showing signs of sustained strength after a recent correction, with increasing volume lending credibility to the bounce. Positive relative strength suggests it is outperforming its peers, and the setup indicates potential for continued upside toward ₹235– ₹240. Risk factors:Any dip below ₹189 could suggest a failed pullback and may invite selling. Volume needs to remain elevated to confirm the current momentum. Buy at: ₹204.45 Target price: ₹235– ₹240 Stop loss: ₹189 Also read: Paint industry's first dip in 20 years—is a rebound next? How the market performed on Friday The Nifty 50 ended the session 319.15 points or 1.29% higher to close at 25,112.40. The BSE Sensex also closed in the green, gaining 1,046.30 points or 1.29% to finish at 82,408.17. Nifty Bank also saw weakness early on but recovered ground, ending 675.40 points or 1.22% higher at 56,252.85. The realty index gained 2.11%, infrastructure rose 1.73%, and PSU banks were up 1.64%, showing strength in domestic-facing segments. No sector ended in the red, underscoring the recovery mood across the market. Among individual gainers, Jio Finance led with a 3.57% gain, backed by strong institutional buying. Bharti Airtel climbed 3.18%, and Trent added 3.04%, indicating continued strength in select auto and consumer names. On the flipside, Bajaj Auto fell 2.52%, while Hero MotoCorp declined 2.01%, and Dr. Reddy's slipped 1.57% as profit-booking set in after recent rallies. Nifty technical analysis: daily & hourly The Nifty opened flat but maintained a steady upward trajectory throughout the session, ultimately closing with robust gains of around 319 points. This move marked a significant breakout above the recent consolidation zone of 24,700–25,000 on the daily charts, indicating a likely continuation of the ongoing uptrend. Notably, the index ended the day above the key psychological level of 25,000, reinforcing the bullish sentiment. With this breakout, the next upside target appears to be around 25,600, which coincides with the upper Bollinger Band on the weekly chart. From a technical standpoint, the outlook remains positive. Both the daily and hourly momentum indicators have registered a bullish crossover, typically interpreted as a buy signal. The 20-day moving average, positioned at 24,860, is expected to serve as a key support level in the near term. Also read: Cracks in earnings of tile and plastic pipe makers may widen in Q1 Additional technical observations show that the Nifty is trading comfortably above both its 20-day and 40-day exponential moving averages, which are currently at 24,862 and 24,597 respectively. However, the daily momentum indicator (MACD) still reflects a negative crossover, with the daily MACD reading at 121, suggesting some caution. On the hourly chart, the index remains above the 20-hour and 40-hour moving averages at 24,873 and 24,896 respectively, and the hourly MACD is at 55, supporting continued strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also reflects bullish momentum, with a daily RSI at 59 and hourly RSI at 65. Options data further confirms the bullish undertone. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 1.12, indicating more aggressive put writing relative to calls. Total Put Open Interest (OI) is at 16.10 crore, exceeding the Call OI of 14.21 crore, with a net difference of 1.90 crore in favor of puts. This suggests a bullish positioning in the options space. The maximum Call OI is concentrated at the 26,000 strike, while the highest Call OI change was observed at the 27,000 strike. On the put side, the 25,000 strike holds both the maximum OI and the largest change in OI, indicating strong support at this level. The total change in Put OI (6.15 crore) outpaced that of Calls (3.38 crore), resulting in a 2.77 crore difference — again highlighting bullish sentiment. The overall OI and change in OI trends are both marked as bullish. Lastly, India VIX, the volatility index, declined by 4.10% to settle at 13.67, suggesting reduced market uncertainty and supporting the stability of the current uptrend. In summary, the technical structure, momentum indicators, options data, and declining volatility all point towards a strong and sustained bullish trend, with 25,600 as the next immediate resistance level.

Why are FPIs selling off FMCG and power stocks in June?

Mumbai : Fast-moving consumer goods, power, consumer durables, and information technology were the sectors that saw the highest selloff by overseas funds in the first-half of June, according to data from NSDL. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector witnessed the highest outflows at ₹3,626 crore, after receiving inflows worth ₹815 crore in May. Between January and May, the sector saw selling worth over ₹14,000 crore. "Continuing with the trend seen in the first quarter of this calendar year, FMCG companies saw foreign selling and preference for rate-sensitives and beta plays were the few reasons driving this trend," said Sriram Velayudhan, senior vice president, IIFL Capital. "Foreign investors are looking for better opportunities across sectors." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo Foreign investors extended their selling in the power sector, offloading shares worth ₹3,120 crore in the first 15 days of June, after selling ₹2,494 crore last month. The sector has seen outflows worth over ₹9,000 crore between January and May. "Power companies had run up in the recent past, but the valuations are rich and not sustainable," said Siddarth Bhamre, head of institutional research at Asit C Mehta Intermediates. Agencies Foreign Buying Live Events These investors allocated ₹9,674 crore across 10 sectors in the first-half of June, with financial services receiving the highest inflows-₹4,685 crore during the period-after witnessing a similar amount of inflows in May. Between January and May, the sector, with the highest foreign investor holding, saw ₹4,771 crore worth of foreign investment. Velayudhan said that the interest rate and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) cut by the RBI has prompted inflows into the financial services sector. Beyond banking and financial services, their purchases in most of the other sectors were relatively modest. "While it is tough to predict further flows, foreign investors are likely to be nimble-footed, so no major flows are likely amid the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the trade situation between US and China," said Bhamre. Chemicals, oil & gas, and capital goods were among the other sectors that received flows in the first- half of June. Bhamre said that the premium attached to the Trump tariffs is expected to come off given the back and forth on tariffs by Trump.
